Line Pressure Increases

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G5 Pursuit, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) Valve 

During the downshift, except for a coastdown, the PCM senses the increase in the throttle position or the engine load. When this occurs the PCM increases the PCS duty cycle. The increase in duty cycle increases the output fluid pressure from the PCS, thereby increasing the torque signal fluid pressure at the torque signal regulator valve.

Pressure Regulator Valve 

Increased torque signal fluid pressure acting on the boost valve increases line pressure at the pressure regulator valve.
